There are 3 open security issues in trixie.
1 important issue:
- CVE-2026-15690:
A vulnerability was identified in open62541 up to 1.5.5. Affected by this issue is the function responseReadNamespacesArray of the file src/client/ua_client_connect.c of the component Shared Client Library. Such manipulation of the argument Server_NamespaceArray leads to null pointer dereference. The attack can be executed remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project closed the issue report, stating that this is not the official way to report a security vulnerability.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2026-11946:
(needs triaging)
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory via the GetEndpoints Discovery Service in open62541. The endpointUrl field of GetEndpointsRequest is not validated for length. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~4.09 GB via the UInt32 length field) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configurations. The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.
- CVE-2026-33592:
(needs triaging)
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory via the FindServers Discovery Service in open62541. The serverUris field of FindServersRequest is not validated for length or array size. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~3.9 GB) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configuration. The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.
